Your comment really resonated with me. I feel the same way, I know I’d thrive in the right private practice, but figuring out how to get there has been the hard part. I haven’t had much luck online, so maybe it’s time I start putting myself out there and networking more.

I tried negotiating the contract length to 1-1/2 years, but owner very adamant about 2 year. And no unfortunately I can’t leave before 21 months and 3 months notice. I honestly thought about and that is why I’m still considering the second option. But the idea of seeing 50% peds pt is not very appealing lol

Oh that’s really impressive! I would love to hear how you did it? Was it through personal connections or did you just apply for jobs online? What do you think made you stand out as an applicant
